It’s always in the last place you look. Well, in this case, it’s always in the last place your doctor looks after trying to find the cause of your sepsis.

A 38-year-old Scottish woman went to the hospital after contracting sepsis, and doctors found a five-inch long object inside her vagina that extended into her bladder. When doctors asked her what this could possibly be, the woman recalled that she had been using a sex toy with a partner when it got lost inside her...10 years ago. It's an epic understatement to say this trip to the doctor’s office was long overdue.

How could the woman not have gone to a doctor sooner? The "Journal of Sexual Medicine" noted that the woman was not mentally impaired or depressed and showed no signs of abuse. And if she remembered the incident from a decade ago, she can’t be that absent minded. Our guess is that she was embarrassed, hoped the problem would fix itself and would occasionally think back on that time she lost a sex toy in her vagina.

Thankfully, the doctors were able to remove the sex toy and discharge the woman with a clean bill of health. But if you ever lose anything inside your body, don’t wait 10 years to get some help.
